Primary hepatic cancer is one of common malignant tumors. When being diagnosed, most patients were in middle and advanced stage and missed opportunities for surgical treatment. Therefore, chemotherapy and Chinese medicines become the main therapies for advanced primary hepatic cancer. This study was designed to observe the efficacy of Ganfule prescription combined with chemotherapy in treating advanced primary hepatic cancer. In the study, 58 cases of advanced primary hepatic cancer were randomly divided into the treatment group (30 cases) and the control group (28 cases). The treatment group was administered with Ganfule prescription combining with chemotherapy, while the control group was given chemotherapy alone. The tumors progress, quality of life, serum AFP level were evaluated in every three treatment cycles; and the survival rate was followed up for one year. According to the results of this study, after the treatment, there was no statistical significance in the comparison between the two groups in terms of response rate (RR) and disease control rate (DCR) (30.0% vs 25.0%, P = 0.670; 66.7% vs 60.7%, P = 0.637). The improvement rate of KPS score in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (43.33% vs 21.43%, P < 0.05). The reduction of serum AFP level in the treatment group was more significant than that of the control group (P < 0.05). During the one-year follow-up visit, the survival rate of the treatment group was 26.67%, and the control group was 25.00%, which indicated no statistical significance. This study drew the following conclusion that the oral administration of Ganfule prescription could improve the quality of life of patients of primary hepatic cancer, decrease the serum AFP level and maintain the disease control rate and the one-year survival rate.

Objective To explore the value of the combined detection of serum AFU and AFP on predicting postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Three groups were classified as pathological observation group, pathological control group and health control group. AFU was detected by ratio colorimetric method with the AFU>40 U/L defined as positive values. AFP was detected by microparticle enzyme immunoassay with AFP> 13.6 μg/L defined as positive values. Results AFU and AFP level of the pathological observation group were significantly different compared with the pathological control group and health control group(P <0.001). AFU and AFP level of the pathological control group were higher than those in the health control group, but no significant difference (P >0.05). For the pathological observation group, the level of AFU and AFP after recurrence were significantly different than that before (P <0.001). As to the sensitivity and accuracy of method, AFU + AFP and AFU or AFP were significantly different (P <0.001). There was no significant difference between AFU and AFP(P >0.05). As to the specificity of method, there was no significant differences among AFU+AFP, AFP and AFU (P >0.05). Conclusion The combined detection of serum AFU and AFP levels significantly raised the diagnostic value of liver cancer recurrence. They may applied as a predictor or indicator of postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Enalapril folic acid tablet combined with Shenkang injec-tion in the treatment of hypertensive nephropathy. METHODS:90 patients with hypertensive nephropathy were randomly divided in-to control group and observation group. All patients were given anti-infection,regulating electrolyte balance,supplying amino acids and other conventional treatment. Based on it,control group was orally given Maleic acid enalaprilat folic acid tablet 1 tablet in the morning,once a day;observation group was additionally given 100 ml Shenkang injection adding into 300 ml 10% Glucose injec-tion by intravenous infusion,20-30 drops/min,once a day. The treatment course for both groups was 4 weeks. The clinical effica-cy,and clearance rate of creatinine(Ccr),serum creatinine (Scr),morning urine test urine protein (Up)/urine creatinine (Ucr), serum malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)before and after treatment and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment,the Ccr,SOD and T-AOC in 2 groups were significantly higher than before,and observation group was higher than control group,Scr and MDA were significant-ly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Morning urine test Up/Ucr,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly lower than before,and the differ-ences were statistically significant(P<0.05),however,there was no significant difference between 2 groups(P>0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the conventional treat-ment,Enalapril folic acid tablet combined with Shenkang injection has better efficacy than only Enalapril folic acid tablet in the treatment of hypertensive nephropathy,with similar safety.

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of stroke in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for improving the stroke control strategy in Ningbo City. Methods: Data pertaining to the stroke incidence and mortality in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2021 were captured from Ningbo Municipal Chronic Disease Collaborative Management System, and the incidence and mortality of stroke was estimated and standardized by the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. The trends in incidence and mortality of stroke were evaluated using annual percent change (APC) in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2021. Results: A total of 185 747 residents with stroke were reported in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2021. The crude incidence of stroke was 312.78/105 in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2021, which appeared a tendency towards a rise (APC=2.429%, t=5.507, P<0.001), and the standardized incidence of stroke was 188.86/105, with no remarkable changes seen (APC=-0.399%, t=-1.544, P=0.161). There were 47 355 deaths due to stroke in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2021, and the crude and standardized mortality rates were 79.74/105 and 42.79/105, which both appeared a tendency towards a decline (APC=-4.778%, t=-6.867, P<0.001; APC=-8.269%, t=-13.729, P<0.001). Higher standardized incidence and mortality were seen among men (226.05/105 and 50.14/105) than among women (153.37/105 and 35.89/105), and the crude incidence and mortality of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise with age (χ2trend=3 671.325, 1 419.107, both P<0.001). The standardized incidence and mortality of hemorrhagic stroke were 40.38/105 and 18.56/105, both showing a tendency towards a decline (APC=-5.042%, t=-12.958, P<0.001; APC=-11.570%, t=-14.979, P<0.001), and the standardized incidence of ischemic stroke was 143.91/105, appearing a tendency towards a rise (APC=1.254%, t=3.223, P=0.012), while the standardized mortality of ischemic stroke was 19.65/105, with no obvious changes seen (APC=-2.110%, t=-2.150, P=0.064). Conclusions The incidence of stroke appeared a tendency towards a rise and the mortality appeared a tendency towards a decline in Ningbo City from 2012 to 2021. Men and the elderly are at high risk of stroke.

Obesity is a prevalent metabolic disorder, which seriously affects human health and has become the world's public health problem. Kinase S6K1, an important downstream effector of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), influences specific pathological responses, including obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Presently, S6K1 has become an attractive therapeutic target in the treatment of these disorders. Here, the functions of kinase S6K1, its molecular regulation mechanisms, related pathogenesis of disease and relevant small molecular inhibitors are reviewed. Finally, the prospect of research toward S6K1 is expected as well.
